In the writing exercise, the author gives blood every Saturday. I used “je donne le sang”, but the only correct answer was “je donne mon sang”. I am used to thinking about always using the definite article for parts of the body. Why would this not apply in this situation?

Thank you!

First off, I love all of the dictées that you offer. This is such a wonderful resource! I was confused on one piece of this exercise, though. If "la position" is a feminine noun, why wouldn't its modifying adjectives appear in the feminine form "datée et signée"? This specially confused me since the exercise explicitly noted that "votre position" was the noun being referred back to. Merci! 

Qui habite à travers la rue?

Why is “nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux” wrong, your answer says it should be “nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux.? Please would you explain why nous takes a singular ending, as in your examples, you use “nous sommes allés”.

Thank you

If we express dates as masculine (le 30 novembre), why do we ask Quelle est la date with feminine articles?

The conjugation of repartir in the present tense for vous is repartez and not repartissez, according two different sources. Please clarify. The test marked repartez as incorrect.

As per the lesson, it should be  "M. Dupont et Mme Vichy vous allés au bureau."  right? why is written vont ?

thanks in advance for the help

Je ne comprends pas deux choses - 1)une bonne grippe carabinée  2) une fièvre de cheval par-dessus le marché. Vous me les expliqueriez? J'aime beaucoup toutes les dictées, surtout celles où je peux trouver des expressions ou du vocabulaire utiles.   Merci beaucoup.
